“So act that you use humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means.” — Immanuel Kant, talking about my kid trying to get a stray cat to tickle his feet when the cat clearly has ends of its own it’s pretty busy tickling.

As a Jewish father, I’ll never have to tell my kid Santa isn’t real. But one day I am going to have to tell him that Roomba’s parent company, iRobot, went out of business. So yeah… let’s just say I get it.

Raising a child in Southern California is basically the same as anywhere else—just with a bit more emphasis on earthquake and fire prep. That’s where the Skymall neck massager and the Skymall flame-retardant neck massager really shine.
